It was revealed on Friday that St. John would re-up its contract with the lovely Angelina Jolie after her first year as spokeswoman saved their image from the isn't-that-the-sh*t-Bea-Arthur-wore-on-'Golden-Girls'? hole it had dug itself through years and years of dressing thick boring women like Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright in their navy and oatmeal knits.

Oh, and Angie also helped earn the company a place in the $400 million club. That might have something to do with it, too.

I'm pretty convinced these pictures from her first campaign are fraudulent (i.e. what a DC housewife sees certainly isn't what she's gonna get), but whether they are or aren't, I can't deny the warm flush that comes over me when I look at them.

Ladies and gentlemen, the undisputed hottest mother of four children under the age of five:

The Concept

Each day, with old man candor, I'll offer my brand of style counsel to the professional DC women who believe a serious job is a valid excuse for an ill-fitted, office inappropriate, comfort first work wardrobe. And when the mood strikes me, which is often, I'll also muse about celebrity fashion and my own fashion-related comings and goings, both of which, I'm sure, are of great interest to you.
